Leifheit Standardizes on Siemens PLM Software’s Teamcenter as its Global Collaboration Platform
Siemens PLM Software announced that Leifheit AG, a manufacturer of non-electrical household appliances and household goods, standardized on Teamcenter®, Siemens PLM Software’s digital lifecycle management solution, as its global collaboration platform.
Leifheit will use Teamcenter to centrally manage all product engineering data and to better maintain product documentation. The company will deploy Teamcenter in its cleaning appliances, laundry care, kitchen appliances and scales products.
Teamcenter will enable Leifheit to systematically file product documents – in some cases up to 50 different documents per product (including drawings, manuals and test documents) – so that they are available to every team throughout the enterprise.
“PLM offers us tremendous advantages through its comprehensive document structures and by speeding up workflows,” said Michael Zwipp, CIO of Leifheit. “We are convinced that the implementation of Teamcenter will boost our product development rate substantially.”
“The fact that a leader such as Leifheit has standardized on Teamcenter following a comprehensive evaluation of different PLM systems is testament to the power of Siemens PLM Software’s technology,” said Paul Vogel, senior vice president and managing director, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Siemens PLM Software. “With Teamcenter, Leifheit will be able to manage all product and process knowledge efficiently through a central source, helping them increase their innovation through inter-departmental collaboration while decreasing time-to-market.”
